Soulwax s monochrome recording studio nods to 1960s Italian architecture
A chequered granite facade envelopes this monolithic recording studio in Ghent, Belgium, which local architect Glenn Sestig has created for electronic music duo Soulwax.
Built on a derelict garage plot, the anonymous four-storey building houses the DJs vinyl collection and music production facilities, as well as an apartment with a roof terrace for overnight stays.

Soulwax is made up of Ghent-born brothers David and Stephen Dewaele – also known as 2manydjs – who use the studio as the hub for their record label Deewee.
Originally finished in 2013, the building is captured here in a series of photographs that were taken to mark the label s 50th release and shared exclusively with Dezeen.
